C3 Saved That Beauty

"How dare you break into the Ye Family's house and steal! Give back what you took, and I'll let you live!"

The first thing the beautiful woman said was full of anger.

The six of them faced off three against three. The woman's team seemed a bit stronger.

Hearing the woman, one of the thieves sneered. "You think the three of you can spare us? Maybe we'd be afraid at the Ye house. But here in these barren Qingzhou hills, you really think you can win?"

"If you've followed us this far, you won't be going back. Your lives and the paintings are ours now!"

"Big talk! You're asking for trouble!" The woman with the icy look was quick to anger. As soon as she heard the thief, she attacked.

All six were clearly skilled fighters. Their moves flowed seamlessly, like something from a martial arts movie.

This real-life fight seemed even more intense than a movie.

Chu Tian, who was watching, was stunned.

"Is this how Earth's fighters are? So primitive!"

After a long fight, Chu Tian saw no sign of any advanced energy, just bits of spiritual energy here and there.

True Essence is a refined form of spiritual energy. It's much more potent.

"Can't Earth's fighters even produce True Essence?"

'They must be really weak.'

Watching the six people fight, all Chu Tian could think was how weak they were.

He could even take them all out with a simple move.

Eventually, Chu Tian got bored. He lost interest and decided to leave.

Just then, he heard the sound of metal piercing flesh. One fighter from the woman's side had fallen.

Another muffled noise, and a small flash of fire. Another man from the woman's team was down.

In just moments, two men from the woman's side had fallen.

"Ye Tianxin, do you think you can beat us? Even with your skills, can you outmatch a gun?"

"I could kill you easily."

The thief smirked and aimed his silenced gun at Ye Tianxin.

For the first time, Ye Tianxin looked shaken.

She was confident in hand-to-hand combat, but she knew she was no match for a gun.

"You seemed strong earlier. Why are you so quiet now?" said the thief, stepping closer.

"I've heard the Ye Family has a 'thorny rose.' Seeing you now, I'm not impressed. Is a rose without thorns still dangerous?"

"What's your plan?" Ye Tianxin asked, her face darkening.

"It's dark, and we're isolated. You chased us here, so you owe us something, right?"

The thief started to laugh, his chuckles becoming increasingly twisted.

Ye Tianxin frowned, disgusted by his insinuations.

Normally, she'd disable them with a swift kick to their genitals, but now she hesitated.

She took a cautious step back. Her original mission was to retrieve a priceless painting for her grandfather.

Now, not only had she failed, she was also in danger.

Chu Tian, who'd been uninterested, grew curious upon seeing Ye Tianxin's jade necklace.

Two other thieves approached Ye Tianxin, aiming to corner her.

If they did, she would be helpless.

What would happen next was clear to everyone.

As a gifted martial artist and a Ye Family member, Ye Tianxin wouldn't let herself be humiliated.

She would never let that happen, even if it cost her life.

With a flash of light, a sharp knife appeared in her right hand. She quickly slashed at a thief's throat.

All three were stunned when Ye Tianxin suddenly attacked. One of them had his throat cut and died immediately.

The other two recovered quickly. One kicked Ye Tianxin in the stomach, sending her flying before she crashed to the ground.

"Unbelievable! You fight back even when you're close to dying!"

The gunman wasted no time and shot Ye Tianxin in the head.

He realized that Ye Tianxin would fight back whenever she could, even if near death. So, he stopped toying with her.

He didn't want to lose his life just for the fun of mocking her.

After the gunshot, Ye Tianxin thought she was dead. But then she realized she wasn't.

Did he miss the shot?

She opened her eyes to find the bullet had missed her, hitting the ground several meters away.

'Who's interfering?"

The thief looked around cautiously. Something had knocked his gun off target.

"You three are bullying a woman and resorting to guns when you lose. Shameless!"

Chu Tian casually stepped out from behind a large rock.

"So you're the meddler?" said the thief, his face turning grim.

The appearance of a lone, slender youth on a desolate mountain at night was strange.

The thief doubted that Chu Tian was alone.

"Call out anyone who's hiding!"

"Why would anyone come here for no reason? Do you think we're all up to no good like you?"

Chu Tian answered with a mocking laugh.

"Did you see everything that just happened?" asked the thief, frowning.

"Yes," replied Chu Tian, nodding sincerely.

"Then you leave me no choice but to kill you," said the thief, his eyes filled with malice.

"You don't have what it takes to kill me," Chu Tian responded, walking fearlessly towards the three individuals.

Witnessing this, the thief felt a twinge of doubt. Could this young man have a special trick up his sleeve?

But then he reconsidered, holding his gun tightly. He had no reason to be afraid.

"So you want to play the hero? I'll grant you your wish."

Fierce determination crossed the thief's face as he pulled the trigger, firing two shots at Chu Tian.

At that moment, Chu Tian swung his right arm, launching a stone. The air resounded with a collision, and sparks flew as bullets touched ground.

"This is impossible!"
